Guest Access:
During your stay you will have access to the entire apartment and the shared courtyard. There is a parking lot in front of the complex - there are no designated spots, however there is a space reserved for #8.

Other things to Note:
2nd floor - no elevator

Ring Camera installed outside (this is the only camera) - we use this to monitor guest count and for security purposes.

Large Garbage container located behind the complex

Possibility for noise - apartments are part of an 8plex

Low Flow Toilets - do not flush anything other than small amounts of toilet paper

Air conditioner - please do not run temp lower than 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The compressor can easily freeze causing damage or HOT air to blow in.

A lockbox is located on the premises to open the front door.

The complex is regularly treated with non-toxic pest repellent. Still, this property is located in a historic neighborhood in the desert. Bugs are a part of life here in the southwest. While we make every effort to stay on top of pest control and keep the apartments spotless for guests, we cannot completely control nature and therefore you may see the occasional bug. Please be aware of this and make sure you're ok with the possibility before booking.

Parking space is available as directed in the check-in guide. We are not responsible for tickets issued, cars towed/booted or any damage to guest’s vehicles while at the parking lot whether from casualty or negligent or intentional wrongful acts of other guests or third parties. Guest waives any and all claims, damages, and/or causes of action for personal injury or property damage against us (the host) and the parking company for use of the parking lot. We are not responsible for any articles left in vehicles.

The nieghborhood:
We love the historic feel and the charm that Old Town delivers. It's always enjoyable to slow down and spend time strolling through the square and the numerous shops and restaurants available. We feel perfectly safe walking around Old Town both day and night, just sticking to the immediate blocks around the plaza, and around Rio Grande Blvd. Going from Central towards Downtown does have some isolated stretches so it is recommended to use common safety sense as you would in any big city.

Distance to:
Airport: 9 miles
Balloon Fiesta Part: 12 miles (we recommend park-n-ride)
Hotel Albuquerque: 4min walk
UNM: 3.5 miles
Old Town: 2 min walk
Fairgrounds: 8miles
Convention Center: 2 miles

Location is perfect for walking to Old town and surrounding restaurants. Walk score of 84 out of 100. This location is Very Walkable so most errands can be accomplished on foot.

Bike score of 87 (very bikeable, flat as a pancake, good bike lanes). There is a bike rental shop within walking distance and also electric scooters on the street.

Uber, Lyft and Taxi's are always available.

There is a bus system - you can plan your ride here:

Great location near Old Town

My son (17) and I came down for a quick 'Breaking Bad' location tour and had a great stay at this condo. It was well appointed and comfortable and a quick walk over to Old Town. We are already planning our next trip down with my nephew and will stay here again!

Entrance to Old Town

Lovely and impeccably clean condo, perfectly situated across from the entrance to Old Town. We were attending an artists’ convention at the Hotel Albuquerque, so the location was perfect for us. Very nice, well-maintained older building with 12 units. Our condo was very nicely renovated with some fun artistic touches. Set back away from the street so road noise was not a problem. Quite spacious and very nice - would definitely book again.

Great !

This apartment located just a few steps to old town , three big museums are very close and really can be walked to. We discovered a small restaurant “Ben Michaels” with a live music on Tuesdays and organic food within just a few steps to it . The apartment is clean and very nice inside , the kitchen has everything that needed, it’s not noisy to sleep , beds are pretty comfortable.The owner responds very fast if needed . Surely we would stay again.

Excellent location only a few minutes walk from old town shops, bars, and restaurants. The unit had everything we needed including an iron, printer, and coffee maker (thank you for the Pinon coffee). Comfortable beds and extremely clean. The entire apartment was updated and we were very happy. Taryn's team was also quick to respond and very clear directions were given. Thank you.

Nice stay

The property was exactly as described, it was clean and cute and had plenty of room. The microwave stopped working the 1st day. I sent several messages letting the property manager know, and never received a response if they were going to come fix it, or even letting me know that they got the message.

Spacious in Old Town

We wanted to stay as close to Old Town as we could for our budget. This property was as advertised and was roomy for our group. We were able to cook all meals and had all the kitchen items we needed to do so. The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 star on cleanliness was because I did spend the first hour after we arrived sweeping the floors in the entire unit, wiping down the kitchen counters and table and chairs, cleaning the microwave inside, and wiping down the cabinet knobs. I found the kitchen to be not as clean as I would have preferred. The rest of the unit was immaculate, beds were comfy, shower was hot and abundant, washer/dryer was great and the unit smelled good. I would recommend to others and stay again. The owner was very polite when she reached out to resolve a minor issue for a different family in the unit below us that involved the unit we were in.

Nice property, decent location

Overall the property was clean, bright, and spacious. We did see one dead cockroach under the table but I’m told that can be common in the desert. Good location to Old Town shopping and restaurant; things tend to close early so good to get a rental car or plan to take Lyft/Uber if you’re planning to explore beyond Old Town. Just a few minutes off the freeway.

Great weekend stay for family with young kids

I was looking for a place to stay with my family with young kids and found a perfect stop. It’s across the street from Old Town and 2 minutes from Explora which my kids really enjoyed. Host was responsive to messages and even reached out to me when the power went out and came back on explaining that the city was working on it.

great location, nice touches for comfort (fans in rooms, water filter, toiletries, cleaning supplies, etc.) King size bed was very firm and the bedrooms get hot at night if you close the doors.

Nice easy spot close to Old Town & highway

Cute place! Very quiet, clean, good kitchen, and an easy walk to Old Town. Great communication and lots of recommendations from the Property Manager (The place also felt fun… like I wanted to be friends with the owners : ) Very friendly. It was *very* quiet, which was great and surprised us, since it’s just off a busy street. (Across the way from San Felipe de Neri and Old Town Square—Try Noisy Water wine tasting and gallery!—just cross carefully to get to the pedestrian-friendly area.) We also liked the location close to 25 b/c w traveled a bit N and S of the city to Jemez Springs & White Sands. We will be back! Thank you. ☀️✌️🙏🌶🍷
